      None of us condone drinking and driving but my man Charlie nailed it. A cold beer on an old back road on a warm late afternoon with a band like this is a special treat.

      Personally i hate the way alcohol makes me feel but i absolutely condone driving Kentucky backroads. I miss the drive from Murray to Princeton/Eddyville when i lived out there. I miss KY. Some of the most genuine and beautiful people on Earth are in Western KY.

    This is a truly outstanding band and I am just finding out about them... I am 62 and I just haven't heard anything new that spoke to me with exception of Rival Sons and Greta Van Fleet in the last several years..... but this is a thinking band with cryptic lyrics... and that really sends me... I have listened to about 5 songs and like every one of them... I heard "Pain" playing as I went into the grocery store and shazamed it.... It is quite an unusual song to be used in a public playlist but I am glad it was playing....

      6 times here... I just can't get over how much this band sounds so 80's rock but its not a metal rock, similar to like a 80's folk rock.

    • @screwyootube1
      @screwyootube1 7 років тому

      While I don't think I'd call it "folk rock", it's not too far removed from it. If you listened to 80s Album Rock radio back in the day (not just Top 40 that played rock), you would find that AOR didn't play THAT much metal, at least not until it took off as a fad (hair metal), because people demanded it. Nothing wrong with metal (IMHO), but it's just one style of rock. There's a whole lot more to 80s than what was popular in the mainstream, such as metal & new wave (of which this is also not TOO far removed from).

    Come and see
    Where I witness everything
    On my knees
    Beat it down to get to my soul
    Against my will
    Anyone can tell it's you coming
    Baby don't mind
    Leave it on the line, leave it hanging on the rail
    Come and ride away
    It's easier to stick to the old
    Surrounded by the night
    Surrounded by the night and you don't give in
    But you abuse my faith
    Lose it every time, but I don't know where
    You're on my side again
    So ride the heat wherever it goes
    I'll be the one to care
    You're all I've got, wait
    Don't wanna let the dark night cover my soul
    Well, you can see it through the darkness coming my way
    Well, we won't get lost inside it all again
    Oh, my mind
    No one sees me, I'm out here waiting
    They don't mind that I'm here, I hear
    Throw the bad away, and your mind against it
    I would keep you here, but I can't
    Oh, I'll talk to you when I make my way back
    I don't see it over there where I come from, yeah
    Lost and you're hurt again
    The easy way to cover my sin
    Don't want another dark time to think to myself
    We won't get lost inside it all, you're on my way
    Well, I can see it in the darkness combing my mind
    Well, we can hear the voices war inside
    Yeah, and you won't get lost inside it all
    You're on my way

    2018 September I was listening to this 24/7 while walking my dog on Friday evenings after dark/after I got off work. Preparing a wedding in the coming weeks. Imagining what the future would hold. 8 months later divorced. Now, 5 plus years later I am listening to this song again, feeling it deeply in my body on this Friday night after dark. Life will fuck you up but music will always be there for you. 🙏

      Yeah, at first I thought that was going to be the point of the video. The others were all strained and anxious because they were focused on performing, but the dancing couple were having a good time because they were focused on being with each other. So even though the dancing couple wasn't objectively that good, they would win (and not even notice). I almost felt offended for them when they got rejected, lol.

    So fine to be alive for many reasons. Music is one of the most stimulating reasons for sure. Finding this was as sweet as finding anything else from my youth. It's weirdly like something I've heard before but probably better. The 70s influences marinate this band.

    There are so many artists, styles and songs within a single TWOD song that it's insanely mindblowing ...TWOD is probably the best thing that happened to music in the 21th century.

    I apologize to you, The War on Drugs. I hope people like me do not upset you. In reading an article about what musicians have to go through, how much they put on the line to pursue a career in music, and their overall lives, I have come to realize that it is not okay to bash a band's music. Instead, I will be happy for you that you are doing something you love and are beginning to be successful.

    • @grockcomedy
      @grockcomedy 10 років тому +17

      sludge486 well, i do hate justin bieber and will never stop bashing him. But this is an indie band who struggles to make a living. So, I will not bash them or bands like them anymore.

    You forget songs and tracks all the time. And then by surprise you run into one of those again. Played on Concertzender's Popart. Now I'm 67 and I heard so so so so much music since I was 10 years old. Well, but, this is one of the most most most beautiful songs I know. It has everything. It breaks my heart and wets my eyes. Again.
    p.s don't don't watch any video listening to this. Take it pure.

    Come and see
    Where are we
    This everything
    On my knees
    To beat it down
    To get to my soul
    I guessed my way
    Anyone can tell it's you coming
    But baby, don't mind
    Leave it on a lie
    Leave it your own way
    Come and ride away
    It's easier to stick to the earth
    Surrounded by the night
    Surrounded by the night
    And you don't go home
    But you abuse my faith
    Losing every time but I don't know where
    You're on my side again
    So ride the key wherever it goes
    I'll be the one, I can't, whoo!
    You're all I've got to wait
    You're running in the dark
    When I come to my soul
    Try and see it through the dark
    It's coming my way
    Well we won't get lost inside again babe
    Am I right? no one sees you, anyone, around here waiting
    They don't mind, they don't hear; I hear
    For the best way-oh, you're mine, against it
    I would keep you here, but I can't
    Oh, I am trying to see the right, right way,
    And I don't see it anywhere I go, yeah... woo!
    She's on my side again
    The easy way
    I come to my soul
    Walking in the downtown
    Talk to my soul
    They won't get lost inside again
    On my way
    I can see it the darkness coming my way
    Well we're here
    Don't get lost inside
    Yeah you won't get lost inside at all
    You're on my way
    Woo!
